  • 6–7 dashes orange bitters
  • 2 ounces mezcal
  • Orange peel, for garnish
  • Fabbri or Luxardo cherry, for garnish

Simple Syrup:

  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup water

Preparation

To make simple syrup, add the sugar and water to a small sauce pan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is dissolved while bringing the mixture up to a boil, then remove from heat and let cool.
